Mako stood facing the sun as it glistened over the ocean, embracing it's warmth across his face. The sky was completely cloudless; the wind completely still. For a moment, the entire world was at a complete stand still: silent, motionless. But this moment passed quickly and a small breeze ruffled Mako's hair. From the corner of his eye, he spotted Korra approaching him and a smile crossed his lips.
It was a beautiful summer morning. The first real summer Korra would ever experience.
"It's going to be another scorcher," Mako said to Korra, wrapping his arm around her.
"Ugh. I'm not used to all this heat," Korra responded, smiling up at Mako as she returned his embrace.
Mako smiled back at her, taking a moment to simply absorb her beauty in the early morning light. "Then why don't we take today to do some cooling off?" He asked, holding her chin in his hand.
"With you? There's no way to stay cool around you," she laughed, pulling his hand away from her chin.
"Cuz my firebending's just so hot!" He laughed, grabbing her by the waist.
"Something like that," Korra responded as she slid her arms around Mako's neck, laying a soft kiss on his lips.
In the distance, Bolin could only watch hopelessly as this display of affection unfolded.
